Congratulations

I didn't want it to be like this
But I guess
That's how it's supposed to be, so let's go

I know mediocrity is what will eat your soul
I ain't tryna rearrange everything that you never owned
Surround yourself with people but you mentally alone
I be feeling like I'm stalling so respectfully, I'm gone

Isn't it ironic how you push away what's pure
Acted like you cared today, but next day you ain't sure
I know I was the bandage and I never was the cure
And even if I was, some wounds could get you to mature

I must admit it, I just know you were right
I got attached to a potential that has clouded my sight
I realized that over time, the snake would probably bite
Cause his nature doesn't fade and it could try to ignite

Now I understand it, people don't change
Never try to do it for them, it gon' bring pain
Another lesson to be learned, and even tho it's tough
You can choose to die for someone and it still won't be enough

The beat's too nice, but I wanna say some things
Don't go around and try to fix broken people
They don't wanna be fixed so
You're just gonna waste yourself in the process if you keep doing it

Like Pygmalion and Galatea but the statue crumbled
I went against the nature and I learned how to be humble
Invested all I had wanting nothing in return
But I gambled with my sanity, I'm factually absurd

Perfection kills beauty and it takes away the grace
You striving for ideals, but you throwing me away
I never tried to change you, but you wanted me to change
Cuz it was never me that you were trying to replace

It was your reflection you were begging to forget
Cameras hitting action but you wasn't in it yet
Even tho I played for you, you still getting upset
You say it ain't my movie even tho we shared the set

So I'm confused and disappointed but I'm not surprised
I carry stabs inside my back, I'm feeling all the knives
And it ain't the pain that is hurting me the most
It was when I turned around and saw familiar eyes

So I guess this is it
There's no going back now
You lost one of the only people in your entire life
Who actually wanted something good for you
And you told me you wanna be in a song so
Here it is
Congratulations
